New in PJ Media:
Ever since President Donald Trump said that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) and her friends were “garbage,” the establishment media has found a new lie to tell about the man they love to hate (and desperately wish that you would hate as well): Why, he called all Somali immigrants in the United States garbage! It’s an outrage! It’s racist! It’s beneath the dignity of his office! Yet all the while, Somalis in Minnesota have seemed intent on demonstrating that those who think the worst of them may just be right.
The New York Times huffed about Trump’s “xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants,” saying that it was an “outburst that captured the raw nativism that has animated his approach to immigration,” and even that Orange Man Bad “has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries.” Even in light of that less-than-stellar record, the Times insisted, this latest “outburst” was “shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.”
As the Times quoted it, however, Trump never got around in his “outburst” to actually saying that all Somali immigrants were “garbage.” He was focused instead on those who come to the United States and are manifestly ungrateful to the nation that welcomed them and gave them refuge. “When they come from hell,” Trump said trenchantly, “and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.” He added that Somalia “stinks and we don’t want them in our country,” which is no doubt true both literally and metaphorically, whatever one may think of Somalis and Somalia, and still doesn’t amount to a blanket, xenophobic condemnation of this wonderful group of people.
Trump also said: “We could go one way or the other, and we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.” Referring to Ilhan Omar, Trump added: “She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren’t people who work. These aren’t people who say, ‘Let’s go, come on, let’s make this place great.’”
The president was clearly referring to unproductive and ungrateful migrants, but the left’s take was predictable. CNN reported Sunday that decent leftists (as rare as such people are in real life) were pushing back: “And yet, the wave of vitriol during the Trump administration’s continued nationwide immigration crackdown has been met with an opposing wave of solidarity in Minnesota. State leaders have been quick to publicly embrace the community. And some of those emails flooding the inboxes of organizers were expressions of kindness.”
CNN brought in Suleiman Adan, deputy executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), to praise these righteous leftists: “People (were) saying that Minnesota Somalis are as Minnesotan as tater-tot hotdish,” said Adan. “Somalis are as Minnesota as the state fair. That is, you know, we belong.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I’ll grant that no politician can dare call all Somalians, or people of any ethnicity or nationality “garbage”. But that shouldn’t stop us! With some very rare exceptions, like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Iman Abdulmajid (wife of David Bowie), I can hardly find any Somalian who doesn’t fit that description
John Smith says
Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco, but Illhan Omar left her clit in Mogadishu. I cannot stand this Female Genital Mutilated bitch. Go home Illhan Omar we’ve had enough of you.
PostOrwell says
Given her mutilation, what she’ doesn’t have any more, she must get her satisfaction through an act other than the sex act. So it’s elation from felony immigation fraud and felony theft. There’s little doubt that Ilhan has taken in millions from here thief compatriots. And in addition to the big dough they get to put a big bitch slap across the collective face of the Infidel. Ahh.

……………maybe someone should ask her about this
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) reported a net worth of up to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure — a document filed just months after the congresswoman dismissed claims she was a millionaire as “ridiculous” and “categorically false.”
The disclosure, filed in May, shows the far-left “Squad” lawmaker and her husband, Tim Mynett, experienced a roughly 3,500% increase in net worth last year, compared to 2023.

“FIRST ON FOX: On the heels of Minnesota’s still-unfolding massive social services fraud scandal, a whistleblower is exposing a similar scheme occurring among the Ohio Somali community, which she says dates back over a decade and totals millions in stolen taxpayer dollars.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Mehek Cooke, an Ohio attorney and conservative commentator, said that “Minnesota was just the tip of the spear.
She said that providers within the Ohio Somali community have confided to her that they have been pressured to join in a “massive” Medicaid fraud scheme that involves doctors “rubber stamping” home health care payouts to the family members of elderly individuals for fake medical conditions.
She explained that scammers in the community have been exploiting a loophole in Ohio’s Medicaid program that allows individuals to receive Medicaid payments, totaling as much as $91,000 per year per individual, for care they are supposedly providing to a family member. Doctors who approve these payments in turn receive kickbacks themselves, according to Cooke.”

Bigotry….”unreasonable” But when it is not “unreasonable’ it isn’t bigotry.
The somalis…in MN, ME and now reported also in OH….have proven that they have unsavory practices, at the very least.
ilhan elmi represents the somalis in America. Per her own words. So, all one has to do is take a long hard look at ilhan elmi….alias omar. Investigate her words…in poor English and her native somalian language.
cair….a lawbreaking organization of rabid muzzies.

‘Minnesota Somalis Are as Minnesotan as Tater-Tot Hotdish,’ But There’s Just One Catch
……………………………………………………..
So now welfare fraud, immigration fraud, child mutilation, forced veiling, crushing freedom of speech, and Jihad terror are traditional Minnesotan values? They are certainly traditional Somali values.

” Omar accused by GOP opponent of opening up the door to massive Minneapolis fraud: ‘Deep, deep ties'”
“If you look at where the fraud is, it’s primarily her [5th Congressional District], the district that I’m running in against her. And it’s really odd to think that you know all the fraud just happened in a particular area, and it was a bill that she, you know, particularly put together.”Nagel is referring to allegations that the free meals at the center of the massive fraud scandal were made possible by the 2020 MEALS Act, introduced by Omar and passed with bipartisan support. He told Fox News Digital the public deserves to know who helped her craft that legislation.
Members of Omar’s inner circle personally profited from the $1 billion welfare fraud scandal in her district that has placed her Somali constituency under a White House microscope, Nagel said. He also said that Omar held events at one of the restaurants, Safari Land, which was named in the fraud case, knew one of its now-convicted owners and had a staffer who was also convicted.”

Most Minnesota people can’t stand this vermin infestation from somalia but, like everywhere else that is infested, they are afraid to speak out.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
They may be afraid to speak out, but why don’t they simply vote against her, come election time?
somehistory says
The somalis get paid for their *votes*…via .vote-harvesting…Those people just scribble their name and grab the cash. That will continue until some persons in authority put an end to it.

Nothing to see here, besides the statue of limitations will run out prior to charges being filed. It’s a political tool to protect the innocent political criminals.
